How CBD Oil Helps With Pain
๐ฟ Supporting the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
CBD interacts with the bodyโs endocannabinoid system, which regulates pain perception, inflammation, and immune response.
By influencing CB1 and CB2 receptors, CBD helps restore balance โ reducing the signals that cause tension, soreness, and discomfort.
โก Anti-Inflammatory Action
CBD has been shown to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory molecules (cytokines). This makes it useful for joint stiffness, muscle recovery, and chronic pain related to overuse or aging.
A 2023 review in Frontiers in Pharmacology found that CBD may help reduce inflammation and improve pain control through multiple biological pathways.
